Historic TAR and CAR photos
16th October 2007

These are a collection of historic photos that show various scenes on the Trans-Australian and Central Australian Railways operated by the Commonwealth Railways.

I know a little about some of the photos and almost nothing about others. I have had them for a very long time and thought I would share them.
